Transmitting new Software-(Firmware) to the IQ-MOTOR-eco GPS
As is the case with many other present-day instruments, there is also the possibility to up-date
the
software (firmware) version. Hereby even future requirements presented by pilots may be rapidly
implemented.
The manufacturer Brauniger GmbH
shall post from time to time program up-dates of
the
IQ-MOTOR-eco GPS -Firmware
on its Internet homepage
,
which can be downloaded by the user
free of charge for storage and subsequent transmission to the
IQ-MOTOR-eco GPS.
Double click on the file " IQMOTOR-eco GPS Vxxxx.exe" starts the program.
Now connect the USB cable with the instrument.
Afterwards you can set the interface in the field
Com Port, or if it is unknown to you, set to
Auto
and have thereby an automatic search prompted.
The virtual COM interface should be positioned between 1 and 8.
Above this value the Flasher
can no longer recognise the interface.
Start the data transfer by clicking on
Update
.
Then the version of the instruments’s Bootloader
shall appear and the relevant bit rate.
The numbers appearing in the field on the right are the response
data of the instrument.
Important:
make sure that the IQ-MOTOR-eco GPS is
not switched-on
when the connection cable
to the PC is plugged to the instrument.
Caution:
never leave the PC cable hooked to the instrument for a longer period when it is turned off.
Indeed this is energy consuming and the battery could be discharged unnoticed.
Tip:
in Windows
the characteristic noise for USB devices should be audible when the unit is plugged.
